Naan Bread
-
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
-
2 teaspoons sugar
-
2 cups all-purpose flour, extra for rolling out the dough
-
1 teaspoon sea salt
-
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
-
3 tablespoons greek yogurt
-
2 tablespoons clarified butter, or ghee
-
Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
Add the yeast and half the sugar to 3/4 cup of warm water. Let that sit for around 10 minutes until a foam forms on the top.
While you wait sift the flour, salt, other half of the sugar, and baking powder into a bowl. Mix the yogurt and clarified butter in to the yeast and water mixture. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ones with a fork until it is all incorporated.
Then mix the dough by hand until it becomes a smooth ball of dough. Wrap the dough in a greased and floured bowl, and keep in a warm place for 3-4 hours.
You will want to have a floured surface to work on now. Take the dough out and cut it into 8 equal pieces. On the floured surface roll each one out as thin as you can before you can see through it.
Heat a cast iron skillet on the stove, a pizza stone at 475 in an oven, or a naan stick baking sheet at 475 in an oven. Wet your hand while you place the dough on the pan. Cook for 1 minute on each side, and serve hot.
